RELATED SYMBOLS: (AMOV)(NOK)

HELSINKI, Feb 11, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- America Movil, S.A. de C.V. (America
Movil) has chosen Nokia as the main infrastructure supplier for its new EDGE
networks in Colombia and Ecuador. Operated by America Movil's subsidiaries
Comunicacion Celular, S.A. (Comcel), and Occidente y Caribe Celular, S.A.
(Occel) in Columbia, and Consorcio Ecuatoriano de Telecomunicaciones, S.A.
(Conecel) in Ecuador, the deployment of the two nationwide networks will start
immediately.

The deal will allow America Movil to introduce GSM voice and GPRS/EDGE 3G data
services to Colombia and Ecuador. The network will be EDGE capable from day one.

Under the terms of the contract, Nokia will supply its high-capacity, end-to-end
GSM/GPRS/EDGE solution for 800 MHz mobile service, including both core network,
radio access and related services. Included in the contract are Nokia UltraSite
GSM/EDGE base stations, as well as the Nokia circuit-switched core network,
Nokia GPRS (general packet radio service) packet-core network, and the Nokia
NetAct(TM) operations support systems (OSS) solution.

The Nokia GSM/GPRS/EDGE solution chosen by America Movil offers a fast and
smooth migration path from legacy TDMA systems, helping America Movil to extend
the benefits of GSM, the world's most popular mobile technology, to all its
customers. As a part of a truly global standard, the GSM path brings the
incomparable benefits of global roaming and economies of scale.

Nokia currently offers several GSM/GPRS 800/1900 MHz dual-band phones and
recently announced the industry's first triple-band 800/900/1900 EDGE terminal,
the Nokia 6200. The prompt availability of 800 MHz phones in several price and
performance categories leverages the power of the GSM standard in both economies
of scale and in peak data speeds for 3G services.

"We at Nokia are delighted that America Movil has demonstrated so strongly its
commitment to the global standard of GSM and its trust in Nokia. We are excited
to deliver our EDGE technology to America Movil," said Dr. J.T. Bergqvist,
Executive Vice President, Nokia Networks. "America Movil, through its
subsidiaries, is a major power in the Latin American operator market and we are
very proud to become one of their strategic network vendor partners."
